2009 Map of McPherson North

About this map

The northern reaches of McPherson anchor the southern edge of this Central Kansas landscape, where the urban grid begins to dissolve into the organized section lines of the prairie. Residential development and established streets like N Main St and Wickersham Dr give way to a network of named rural roads, including Pawnee Rd and Limestone Rd. This transition zone is defined by the headwaters of several drainage systems, notably Bull Creek and Dry Turkey Creek, which carve gentle paths through the agricultural lands. Farther north, the small rural nodes of Johnstown and Hilton persist as markers of local identity along the section corners. The presence of Crestwood Memorial Park and the prominent US Hwy 81 Byp corridor illustrate the modern infrastructure supporting this hub of the Kansas wheat belt in the early 21st century.
